5.2.3 Network Setup 

Enter into [Main MenuNetwork Setup] to setup the network 

configuration (Shown as picture 5-7): 

After selecting network mode - such as DHCP, PPPOE or static 

allocation- and setting up web ports,you can visit DVR remotely 

through a network or internet. 

Picture 5-7 

DNS: DNS server is generally provided by local ISP. Herein please enter the IP address of your DNS. 

Note: When there are multiple DVRs at the same LAN, you need to change the MAC address. 

When selecting DHCP the router will allocate DVR IP address automatically after you exit the menu. The 

IP address of the DVR might change whenever the unit is turn on. 

When selecting Static from the Type, user can directly set IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Web Port 

and DNS shown as Picture 5-8. 

Picture 5-8 

When selecting PPPoE form the Type, user can input user name and password provided by ISP and set 

Media and Web port (details please refer to the below Picture 5-9). You can visit your DVR via public network 

without port forwarding when network type is set to “PPPoE” and web port is right. 

Picture 5-9

11 


At the bottom of the NETWORK SETUP window there is an option to setup a DDNS service of the DVR 

shown as Picture 5-10.You can access the DVR through a static or dynamic IP address; however a dynamic 

address can change from time to time. How often depends on your service provider. When it changes you 

need to go to a website such as www.myipaddress.com from a computer attached to the same router as the 

DVR to find out what the new IP address is. There are two solutions to this problem. One would be to get a 

static IP address from your service provider so that you do not have to be concerned with the address 

changing. Another solution would to use a dynamic domain name service to get a domain name that can be 

linked to your dynamic address. You can register on DVR2009.3322.org website and get a domain name, user 

name, and password. You can then enter your dynamic domain name into an Internet Explorer browser instead 

of an IP address and be directed to whatever the current dynamic IP address is, so that you can always access 

the DVR by entering the same address. You can get more information on how to use these services from 

www.dyndns.com website. 

Picture 5-10 

Server: select a Dynamic domain name server provided by ISP; 

Host Name: Input host name registered from Dynamic Domain Naming System, for example: 

DVR2009.3322.org; 

User Name: Input a user name registered before applying for a domain name; 

Password: Input a password you set when registering a user name. 

Router’s Port Forwarding 

Port forwarding is required when you want to access the DVR connected to the router from outside of the 

router’s network. 

1. Input router’s IP address from IE-based browser to open the Router configuration interface; 

2. Click [Transmittal rule] option to take you to perform the port forwarding setting for your router; 

3. Set the corresponding parameters illustrated in Picture 5-11. When server port and web port can be routed 

to the DVR IP address, user can visit the DVR remotely. 

4. User can enter below website or domain name as per current PC network environment to visit the remote 

DVR. 

http://public IP: Web port(such as 0080) 

http://intranet IP: Web port(such as 0080)(only available at the same LAN) 

http://superdvr.3322.org: Web port(such as 0080) 

Picture 5-11

12 


Friendly Reminder: The router’s port forwarding interface may be different, however, when entering into virtual 

server, user will need forward port 0080 and port 9000 of router to IP address of DVR allocated or automatically 

captured, and select [All] or [Both] in corresponding protocol column and save the above setting. 

Above steps may differ from the router device depending on the manufacturer.
